If you’re in the process of having one of the Grayhawk homes in Columbus GA built for you and are looking at design options, you might want to learn more about the upcoming trends for 2020. After all, a new home with all of your own choices for finishes, colors, flooring, and more is a great way to create a fresh new home that truly represents you. Even if you’re already in your home, some of the upcoming trends are options for big and small renovations.

Whether you’ve chosen a home plan with a separate dining room or already have a home with one, now is the time to really make something of this room. One of the exciting design trends for 2020 is the return of the formal dining room. Whether you make a point of using it daily for family meals or retain it primarily for holidays and guests, the dining room is making a comeback, but with an update. While it may be more formal, that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. In fact, big, bold colors and prints are making an appearance. This is a room that doesn’t necessarily have to fit with the rest of your home’s design. Pick eye-catching artwork, unusual lighting fixtures and create some glamour and drama in this typically staid room.

Kitchens tend to be on the white side, whether it’s cabinets, tile, or walls. The new trend is to move away from all-white kitchens and explore some other color options. While white cabinets do still maintain a classic appeal, some designers are looking to alternative colors, such as light gray or blue. The light colors keep the cabinets from being overwhelming, but add more interest, especially when paired with another color for the backsplash tile and countertops. The addition of various types of wood in unexpected areas such as open shelving or countertop accessories also creates an updated look. You can still have a light, crisp, clean look without being tied to white, so start exploring some new colors.

Powder rooms have often played the role of the quirky space that lets you have some fun with decorating. After all, it’s small and not as connected as other rooms. This trend continues, with designers going bold, especially with vivid, eye-catching wallpaper used to wrap the whole room.

On the other hand, for master bathrooms, the goal is to further enhance the sense of a spa-like retreat. Tile aprons and surrounds for bathtubs create a built-in look that adds to the luxury. In addition, more designers are adding in seating, whether it’s a window seat, a bench by the bathtub, or a seat in front of the vanity. This adds to the concept of comfort and relaxation. Vanities are getting an update, too, often with the installation of floating vanities that create a great sense of space and openness, making the room feel lighter, airier, and more like an upscale spa.

These are just some of the trends that seem to be making themselves known as 2020 fast approaches. Whether you’re building from scratch or looking to give your existing homes in Columbus GA an update, start exploring some of the new trends. You may find some fresh ideas that perfectly match your design aesthetic.
